# Community Call #003
Drafted October 18, 2022

## Two Hemispheres
### Right Hemisphere
- Pluriversal Manifesto
    - Define the pluriverse in relation to other manifestations
    - Specifically: Ethereum, Solarpunk, Regen, and the Greenpill meme
- Pluriversal Article Series
    - Deep dive exploration to provide working definitions for:
        - Solar/Lunar-punk
        - Plurality, pluriversality, ontological design
        - The informed aesthetics of the pluriverse
- Master/Apprentice Workshops
    - As a practice of existential aikido
    - To tighten and stengthen internal alignment while preserving the bandwidth of the community
    - Provide a generative critique format to incubate and accelerate new ideas

### Left Hemisphere
- Regen DAO Treasury Management Model
    - Towards a pluriversal UBI structure
    - Alleviates the pressures of delivering products
    - Allows us to focus on myth weaving
- Regen NFT Model
    - A mechanic for adding utility to the Greenpill pledge
    - Towards defining roles, separating voyeurs from contributors and benefactors
- The ~~Greatest~~ LARP Reboot
    - Provides a hinge between worlds/hemispheres
    - Aligns loss leaders and core products
    - Points towards a much greater potential

### Central Regions
- Prioritized Backlog of Tasks
    - Allowing community to easily identify how they might contribute
- Formation of a Core Team
    - Specialists for each of these areas
    - Attract funding through highly nuanced strategy
    - Reach escape velocity to next phase of ideation and development

## Left Hemisphere
### Manifesto
- Declaration of Vision & Values
    - Puts a stake in the ground
    - Defines a position 
    - Defines key words: pluriverse/plurality, solar/lunar/terra-punk, etc.
- Identify Heros
    - References that align or distinguish us from other movements
- Declaration of Intent
    - Theory and practice of an emergent strategy
    - Defines success metrics

### Article Series
- [KO has provided us with the prompt](https://youtu.be/AF2B6SsjoDQ)
- This community is positioned to respond. We have the responsibility to do so!
- We need to go deeper and wider, together.
- Rough outline:
    - Historical overview of the artistic avant-garde as the foundation of aesthetic and intellectual rebellion
        - Special focus on propaganda and appropriation
    - Historical overview of technological subterfuge, cryptography, hackers, aesthetics, and correlation to wider cultural phenomena
        - Special focus on cyberpunk > cypherpunk > contemporary cybernetic attitudes
    - Historical overview of utopian sub-cultural ideologies across the disciplines in the 20th century
        - Special focus on architecture, planned communities, technological/cybernetic visions
- Moves towards two outlets:
    - Advancing the diversity of topics on KO's Greenpill podcast
    - Advancing the depth of inquiry in TW's Death articles
    - Supplementing the internal dialogue with firm historical research

### Master-Apprentice Workshops
- Practical need: ensure high quality & caliber of output
    - Like pre-industrial apprenticeship: maximizes the uniqueness of the maker
    - Action-oriented, skillful production
- Philosophical need: begin with the individual before scaling to the WORLD
    - Each scale requires a unique orientation accompanied by a unique language
    - Balances theoretical with the practical
- Cultivates the **Handmind* described by Ursula Le Guin in ACH
- Facillitates focused 1:1 critique of internal process that flows both ways
    - Empowers individual contributors with the regen strategies illustrated below

## Right Hemisphere
### Regen DAO Treasury Strategy
- Core idea: **let's create a mechanism that takes money off the table by creating a regenerative UBI for contributors**
- Straightforward diversification scheme that adapts to shifting market volatility:
    - Paranoid Bear: stable position in RAI
        - LP'd (RAI/DAI) to earn ~7.5% yields
    - Comfy Crab: lateral position
        - LP'd (RAI/ETH) to earn ~8.21% yields
        - LP'd (GTC/ETG) to earn ~ 57%
    - YOLO Bull: high risk high yield
        - Tight LP positions (GTC/ETH, etc) to earn 200%+
- Work with devs to automate positions at programmed safety thresholds
- For example:
    - We raise $6m and earn an average of 10%
    - Can support a 5 person skilled team fulltime at $120k/year each
- Variations of the model can be tested & dogfooded for different scales of our community here
    - Illustrated in the Regen NFT idea

### Regen NFT Strategy
- [Overview of strategy is laid out here](https://hackmd.io/@pluriverse/ByoQdkImo)
- TL;DR = 
    - NFTs are a commitment to follow through with the [Greenpill pledge](https://greenpill.party/)
    - Built on top of the treasury management schema
    - Towards a recipe for a regen stack that can be adapted for sub-DAO structure
        - Empowers future projects to spin off and retain autonomy
- Pilot = Potlatch
    - Symbolizes a reorientation towards wealth, away from holding and towards **giving**
    - Begins to diversify the social layer of our regen stack
    - Leading to role definition for our pluriversal LARP

### Pluriversal LARP
- Combines the elements of the regen stack with the ideological and creative lorecrafting.
- Not so much a *religion* as an **ontological design studio**.
- Explores the tension of transitioning from oral to written traditions.
- Presents a taxonomic cosmogony of narrative styles (inspired by UKLG's ACH):
    - Jokes
    - Songs and dances of daily life and deep ritual
    - Children's games
    - Ethnographic document
    - Short and long stories
    - Cautionary tales
    - Hearth stories
    - Matrix songs that defy writing
- This is the north star of the pluriverse: *To create and nurture new worlds!*
    - The alternative to Zuck's meta is immersive pluri. Immersion is the success metric.

### Final Thoughts
- All of the discovery research should be compiled into a backlog of tasks.
- Task assignment should be based on specific competencies, TBD by the formation of a core team.
